Got to use the winch today

[LVRaider]

Glad I had it too as it was around 6*. Was out on our property an dropped off into a skidder rut that the logging crew had made and we was stuck!! Front diff performs great! Also glad I got the vinyl option also!
Here is a little video my fiancé shot.

Nice. A little disappointed in the tire performance...

Its hard to tell but, was the rear locker engaged 1/2 way through?

They actually have been doing real well in the snow,this was just some big deep frozen ruts I dropped in. I'll post some pics of them when it thaws out.. The deep snow/sand drive mode works great..

Greta Thunberg wants to know if you used a tree protector.

I noticed that too watching the video. I had forgotten to engage it not that it would had helped much in that situation.

When did you remember your poor wife out there videotaping?
Hopefully before you got back to the house!

Hell she beat me back in the truck before I even had the winch line unhooked and wound back in..

I don't think it would have gotten you out initially but once you got going it would of clearly made a difference. by engaging the locker it eliminates rear wheel slip and should prevent the front axle from being over driven too. I've driven up over 3-4 foot snow banks with ease.

Yea I was on the frame. It wouldn't move at all as tried several times and just called on the winch,just glad I had a tree close.

Now if that tree were 100' away... what then?

Glad you got out safely.
